Intended learning outcomes
Students who complete this subject should be able to:
- Compare and contrast different ways in which narrative practices are engaged with children, young people and adults; with individuals, groups, organizations and communities.
- Articulate and distinguish how differing cultural, class, gendered, age contexts influence the shape of narrative practices
- Examine and question how the narrative practices engaged by practitioners in different contexts could be put into practice in their local context
- Propose adaptations that may be necessary in order for narrative approaches developed elsewhere to be relevant and resonant in their own context
